Welcome to the NFDL Athletics and Activities!!

I’m excited to be joining the NFDL family and to begin a role where I can support all students who are involved in activities, helping them grow both academically and personally.

I attended UW-Stevens Point, where I competed in two sports—football and wrestling—for four years. After my time as a student-athlete, I continued to work with the wrestling team as an assistant coach and helped with athlete recruitment. My experiences at Stevens Point taught me the importance of balancing academics with the demands of being a competitive athlete.

In 2018, my wife Emily and I moved back to Oshkosh to start our family. We now have two boys, Yan (5) and Leo (3), and a dog named Millie. As a family, we love spending time outdoors and enjoy sharing that experience with our kids.

Over the past six years, I’ve worked in education as a teacher, assistant football coach, and head wrestling coach at Oshkosh West High School. During that time, I began to see just how much of an impact a coach can have on a student-athlete. That realization inspired me to find a way to support even more students—not just those in a single sport.

As Activities Director, my goal is to help student-athletes become the best versions of themselves—on and off the field—while fostering a culture of growth, support, and inspiration. I know firsthand the value of having a mentor who’s there during times of need, and I hope to be that person for our students.

Please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns. I’d be happy to connect with you.

Let’s Fly!
